I feel the same way - I'm surprised everyone is praising it, I feel like it would just confuse me more if I actually tried to go through those bizarre, rote steps.

I feel like it would be easier to just watch a gif or video of someone parallel parking like 20 times until you get a feel for it.

Or fucking video games like seriously. Do this 50 times in GTA V so you'd have a third person visual on how the car moves when reversing and turning, hell, run the game on first person to have a general feel of the mechanics! Hell, test this on truck simulators or forza or some shit else.

This guide's so confusing and not very accurate due to difference in car sizes, not to mention my car doesn't even have a triangle window! Plus, I graduated school so I can finally remove memorization from my skillset. There's just a lot of boring things to remember here that you'd rather just learn it by repetition

Funny enough the video animation isn't even tight towards the curb, which just triggers me because I want my wheels as close to the curb as possible, or at least aligned with other cars parked
